Star Wars: Empire at War Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

Published: Jan 8, 2006

Introduction

A galaxy that was far, far away has just come a little bit closer.

Welcome one and all to the guide for the latest game from Lucasarts, Star Wars: Empire at War. Whether you're a loyal member of the Empire or a piece of Rebellion-sympathizing Wookie-loving scum, you now have the chance to rewrite a bit of Star Wars history and unite the galaxy before the phrase "I am your father" became a cliché. The lasers will be flying, the ships will be exploding, and the Force will be as strong as ever as the war rages across space.

A nicely focused real-time strategy game, Empire at War will test your patience and aggression. Do you sit back and let your scientists research that new ship, or do you press the attack? Do you sink credits into spicing up your ground defenses, or will you put all that money and effort into the Death Star? Will blowing up the planet really help you tactically regardless of how much fun the mere act is? All these questions, and any others you may have, are answered in this guide.

Good luck, commander. Live long and prosper... Er, we mean, may the Force be with you.
